Righto, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking for the Lakey Pipe region over the next couple of weeks.

The water is sitting at a warm 82°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a solid groundswell running, but it's coming from the SSW with a long period of 15 to 16 seconds, which is good for a reef like this. The problem is the wind is mostly a moderate cross-offshore, which is okay but not perfect. The wave energy is moderate to strong (1693 on Friday morning), but the conditions are described as marginal, so it's not the time to get too excited. Saturday morning is similar, but by Saturday afternoon, the wind drops to a gentle breeze and the swell is still a clean 5 ft from the SW. That's a solid intermediate wave but nothing to write home about. Sunday actually sees some offshore wind (ESE), which is a big positive, but the swell drops to 4 ft. The energy is way down (477), so it'll be clean but small.

A real standout comes on Tuesday, 14 July. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The energy is strong (2284), and the wind is a gentle cross-off. This is proper groundswell – long, powerful lines that will be peeling beautifully down the reef. The period is so long it might be a bit too straight for a beach break, but at a reef like Lakey Pipe, that's a dream. It's a consistent break, so you'll get plenty of waves. Be aware it can get crowded here, so expect company.

The next real highlight is the Monday, 20 July session. The morning has 6 ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is right up there (2220). By the afternoon, it's even better: 7 ft from the SSW. That's getting into expert territory, but the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. The wind is just a light breeze, so it will be glassy and clean. The energy is massive (2567), so you'll be feeling the power. This is the best of the lot.

The week that follows looks very promising too. We see a lot of light winds and clean conditions, with swell hanging around the 5 ft to 5 ft mark. The two days that stand out late in the run are Thursday, 24 July and Saturday, 25 July. On the 24th, the afternoon has a 4 ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, light offshore wind, and the energy is strong (1148). The 25th has a similar setup: 5 ft from the SSW, light offshore winds, and a solid 970 energy. With the offshore winds and that consistent reef, you'll be getting some beautiful, clean waves.

So, the call is clear. For the absolute best, look at Tuesday, 14 July for that powerful, long-period groundswell, and then lock in Monday, 20 July for the biggest, cleanest swell of the window. The second week has some lovely, cleaner days, but the 20th is the standout.

Rusty.

Information about the Lakey Pipe Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Lakey Pipe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lakey Pipe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lakey Pipe surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lakey Pipe) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lakey Pipe may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
